Cheers Paul.I saw that,looked real good,not much call for flexicabs,up here, Regards Joe.

Thanks for all the great comments guy's,guess I should have posted these pictures first I also changed the seat,as I don't think any 135's around here were fitted with that "fancy" sprung seat,there's not a farmer in the county would have shelled out for that,you'd be damn lucky to get a cab back then,seem to remember the Duncan cabs had only one slideing door Hopefully an other "bigger"Fergie ;) Regards Joe.

You'll need a tin of "cataloy" to fill the gaps Regards Joe.

Just finished this wee conversion,didn't like the round fenders anyway,but thanks to Mark's pitures of Sean's 135 at Spalding I thought I'd put the Duncan cab on aswell as just changeing the fenders,I#ll need to take it apart again to fix the gap between the cab and fender Comments welcome, Regards Joe.

Hi Luke,I hope it can pull it's getting hooked up to this Once I work out how to make it fold,thanks to Marcus for the idea, Paul backgrounds available here http://www.ontracks.co.uk/index.php?page=product&prodID=20800&catID=266 Thank you for all the positive comments,makes it all worth while,forgot to mention earlier,it actually has a scale Cummins engine in it,I discovered it in an old 1/25th scale Peterbilt I made years ago,wrong scale but it fitted a treat, Regards Joe,

Hi Johny,where do you think that stareing driver came from ;) Regards Joe.

Reece the tractor is nearly all original,just stripped and re-painted,with the original steps ground off and replaced with hand made brass ones,the winscreen was a pain but I made that from 2mm thick perspex at the front and the triangular rear was made from thin plastic packageing from some nail clippers !! ,well I knackered the old one's cutting thin brass wire,the light's came from PMA32,and the wheels / tyres came from the Tamiya mini 4x4's although the one's I was going to use were from Baerney's,but a mix up in ordering meant I only received 2 instead of 8 Massey Boy the exhaust is made out of 6mm diameter aluminium inside 10mm diameter brass tube sqeezed in the vise to make it oval then painted with grey primer,then lightly sprayed with matt white then airbrushed with a mix of Humbrol Matt 70,Matt 187 and Gold 54 Regards Joe.

Went up to Perth today to see Graeme and Michelle at the Isle of Skye hotel and bought these That Precilitor is a very nice wee model,but it is very light in weight,hopefully it will fit on the back of my County 1184,when it's ready and I think a nice "little" plough for the back of that Fendt 818,if I can find the bits to make one, Regards Joe.

Well finally got this thing finished,took two months just to get the bit's from Germany,and the order was wrong !!,but that's another story,at last,this is what I hoped to see when I opened the Scale Models box twelve years ago,but now it looks like a proper tractor "model" Regards Joe.

Any luck yet Andy Regards Joe

Hi Giovanni,and welcome to the forum,you could try phoneing him,see number here http://www.davidpurdue.com/ That e-mail address does not work anymore,can't remember his new one,bur he should have a new web site shortly Regards Joe.

Here's the full story translated PMA32 site will be temporarily unavailable for a few days, it will undergo some changes! This makes 2 years since the craft is PMA32. With a fairly small catalog the first year, you were likely to seek new products. A year ago, the kits took another form with the introduction of White Steel. This has helped to revise the way we produce. Although our production is still artisanal, with passionate, we can now consider the marketing of our products otherwise. What will change? A new website will be launched by the end of the month. This future version will announce a partnership with a new distributor of miniature and handicraft products. Thus, orders and inventories will be managed more efficiently: stocks kept up to speed, cost reduction will be reflected in sales prices and fastest shipping of orders. In this way, PMA32 to focus his work on his specialty: Prototyping Miniatures Agricoles. New products are more frequently presented on our site. PMA32 does not break contact with the fans, the website and exhibitions will always rise to trade around our common passion. We will inform you soon when the new site is operational. You will be able to find our articles on the new site offers a range of products for enthusiasts hobby farm. Best regards, Olivier Bertaud Regards Joe.
